Endlec - MANIAKOR [RM6]

Artist: Balrog
Release: The Nothern Powerhouse' LP
Cat number: IOD053
Release date: 14.02
Format: CD & digital

Balrog’s debut album, “The Northern Powerhouse” is composed of 8 hard-hitting techno tracks, focusing on heavy, groove-ridden drums, driving basslines and obscure, distorted vocals. His tracks take influence from classic, hard-grooving techno but with a fresh injection of modern, industrial power.
The framework for the tracks was developed in the midst of the fallout from the UK leaving the EU and the numerous attempts to “level up” the north of the country through The Northern Powerhouse scheme, from which the album derives its name. Conceptually, the album is an attempt from the artist to dissociate himself from Brexit and the conservative government which has consistently stigmatised the most vulnerable in UK society and spread lies on an industrial scale in order to push forward their agenda.
           Through the album, a series of linked tracks mirror the raw divisions in society, not just between The North and The South of the UK, but also more widely representing divisions throughout the world.  As the album develops, a more hopeful outcome is suggested, seeing the culture of underground music as having the potential to build connections and incite resistance in an increasingly divided world.

Original image captured by award-winning photographer, Lincoln Clarkes in Vancouver 1996, from the highly praised, hard-hitting photo-book series, “Heroines,” portraying social injustice and the stark contrasting realities faced in the forgotten areas of modern day sub culture.

“In any other city, this photograph might have been staged, but not here in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Crack-smoking, heroin-shooting, sleeping, eating, living, dying - it’s all done on the street” Lincoln Clarkes, extract from “Heroines”

Presenting hard-talk issues with challenging and thought provoking images, while discovering hidden beauty in the decaying societies of humanity, this is Monnom Black.

Bjarki - Psyhestur [BRX] 2

French techno collective Subtyl is proud to present its 5th release, with “Octobre Rouge”, a 4 track EP by Munsinger, one of the collective’s resident. Munsinger has made a name for himself playing hardware-only live for the past 3 years. Crafting a unique style of bassline based Techno/EBM hybrid (think of Thomas P. Heckmann in the early 2000), his music finds a balance between light and darkness, energy and fun. Saturated riffs, anarchist synths and metallic drums are to be found in his compositions. Raise your fist and join the dancing march, Munsinger comes with fast beats for a fast youth !

Le collectif Subtyl est fier de vous présenter « Octobre Rouge » de Munsinger, cinquième sortie du label. Partisan d’une approche live, Munsinger s’est bâti une solide réputation de passionné de machines. Son style mêle Techno physique et Electronic Body Music martial - citant pour inspiration Thomas Heckmann et ses légendaires basslines. Riffs saturés, synthés anarchistes et percussions métalliques rythment les 4 titres de cet EP. Levez votre poing et rejoignez la marche: Munsinger signe la BO d’une jeunesse qui brûle la vie par les deux bouts.

AnD - Beast Mode with Gabber Eleganza remix
Format: 12"/DGTL
Cat#: RPTCH11
Release Date: 09 April 2020
Pre-order: https://repitch.bandcamp.com/album/rptch11-beast-mode

Andrew Bowen & Dimitri Poumplidis, better known to the public as AnD, had accompanied REPITCH Recordings through its early stages of existence. Their two previous offerings for the Berlin-based label came respectively in 2012 and 2014, acting as cornerstones for Repitch, marking crucial points in the evolution and definition of its sound. It is only now, after a 6-year absence from the RR catalog, that the duo makes its return with ‘Beast Mode’, a five-tracker that shows no sign of giving way to softer or less energetic sounds. These are bangers: nothing more and nothing less than rave-ready, hard-thumping, bass-blasting club stompers. Ever championing of the hardest side of techno, AnD have prepared a pack of non-compromising menaces to quiet, capable of making the floor quake by means of pure, unadulterated four-to-the-floor thickness and synthetic stabbing power. This kind of attitude led them to form many kinships with similarly minded DJs and producers, the latest of which is hardcore maestro Alberto Guerrini AKA Gabber Eleganza, who turned ‘Emergency Procedures’ into an even harder affair, driving the mix into the red and turning the beat into a freakishly crippled juggernaut.

All tracks written, produced and mixed by AnD.

Visions 01 | Cleric [CRG020]
Label: Clergy
Release date: 10/04/2020

To celebrate hitting their 20th release, Cleric’s imprint pulls together 23 talents for an essential various artist compilation including tracks from the likes of Rebekah, Cleric, Stef Mendesidis, Remco Beekwilder & Stranger, Endlec, Kwartz, Setaoc Mass, Roman Poncet, Slam and many more.

Clergy has become synonymous with a balance of atmospheric and hard hitting brand of techno ever since 2014. The boss's own music has been key to that, with carefully curated releases from guests such as Dax J, Kwartz, Reflec and Cleric himself. Helping to make the label an underground favourite. ‘Clergy Visions 01’ sees Cleric invite an array on techno heavyweights to contribute to this compilation that’s mixed by the label boss himself.
Things open up with the bleak ambience and fizzing electric cables of Jokasti & Nek's 'Grained' then Sept's 'Artifical' lays down a tunnelling techno groove that immediately locks you in. The mysterious alias, Reizemann heads off to a cosmic realm with its deep space pads slowly building the momentum throughout the drums. The energy levels then stay high throughout tracks from Roman Poncet, Kwartz and Setaoc Mass, then leading onto the groove of Stef Mendesidis.
Testament to Cleric's skills as a DJ and sequencer is the fact this journey is constantly evolving while remaining coherent. A mid- section featuring the likes of Endlec, Sleeparchive and EAS keeps you on your toes with perfectly stripped back but hard dynamic drum programming and intense melody work. Remco Beekwilder & Stranger bring a more hard hitting and industrial style before Slam calm the fires once more allowing you to sink into a smooth, elongated roller. It's left to the dystopian darkness of Rebekah and atmospheric techno brilliance of Lerias to close out this most adventurous mix in real style.
